No, I'm confident that if Jean has thought they were doing the character justice she would've had more enthusiasm to take part in ABP.

She said they made her character "too dingbatty". Earlier in the show she would display flashes of great wisdom. None of that in the later seasons, particularly in season nine. And those same writers carried on onto ABP, at least for the first couple of seasons.

Take a look at the episodes where she tries to take out a bank loan, and particularly when she was arrested for passing a phony bill. Great comedy, but from the actress' standpoint, I can see how she might've been dissatisfied.

She should've kept her mouth shut and kept collecting the mondo checks, I'm sure she was getting.

I'm sure she was well off by then. She became semi-retired after that and didn't need the grueling weekly work schedule of a series.

Semi-retired? Lol. Yet, the jerk couldn't even go to O'Connor's funeral.

I can't really comment unless I heard her side of the story.

Well, if it was merely because of a play, that's BS. The death of a close friend of over 30 years is more important than a stupid play.

There's always the possibility she didn't want to face the funeral of a friend like that.

Possibly. I still don't like it.

Like I said, I'd have to hear her side of it before passing judgement.

Well, they're both dingbatting it up in heaven now.

Her show with me would be X-rated.

As it should be.
